I got the receipts! Here's the email response from May 13th: "Hi Holly, Thank you for your email and being a Color Club fan! Certain shades including Harp on It are very limited in supply, so the price has been adjusted. I believe we actually only have a few of that particular shade left, so if you love it, I would grab it while you can. We are actually in the process of re-branding and re-structuring. We are hoping to resume our marketing presence in the next few months. Thank you for your kind words! Best, Whitney Matza Sent from my iPhone"
@@naillacquertherapy I know! Very important detail I totally forgot, which led me to believe they got bought out or something along those lines. Especially since they're trying to sell some of the linears for so much.
This makes so much sense! I just bought some polishes dirt cheap from Beyond Polish and 2 of them were Color Club. Even without free shipping, they tallied around 9.50 USD, so I pounced. I've also ordered from their site before (a bunch of mysteries and a few I chose myself). I hope they come back better than ever!
when they did the one dollar sale I always assumed they were moving wear houses as it's cheaper to sell polish at a loss then moving it. buuuuut $18 a bottle?!?! what does that mean?!?!?! I'm really enjoying these types of videos from you
The only time I’ve purchased from them was last year when they had the $1 mystery polishes. I kept 6 out of 12 and gave the others away. They were all good polishes just not my colors. Since I don’t purchase anything it wouldn’t be a big deal for me personally. That’s all I got, sorry!😂
Oh, I hope they’re not going away. Color Club is my favorite brand and I was over the moon when they switched to a wide brush. Thanks for the info, Janixa.
Janixa, the cosmetic companies will not tell you they're in trouble. American Apparel told me they were fine and discontinued the nail polish the next day. Revlon told me they were fine, and I found out that they went bankrupt three years ago.
I am a fan of Color Club ever since they let me "make" a discontinued polish through their Polish Factory custom option. I also loved their $1 mystery polish as it was so much fun opening the boxes with a low stakes cost.
Thank you so much for this video. I don't have IG, so I get my chisme from YT 😂. Well, this makes me appreciate the few CG and Color Clubs I own more. Also, the price hike on their holos has been there for at least 3mo now. Bcs I remember early spring being excited to buy their holos, and when I saw the price I was like yeah, no pass!
Janixa, por favor when you have the time, can you do an IG clip or YT short, just scanning over the NailPollies behind you?🙏🏼 I just want to see all the little artwork tops past & present, and the way you have them by shade or..food group??😂. I'm going to be able to get some soon- and I just want to see your groupings. Your set up is soo cute!😊 Thanks!
I really like Color Club but I've always purchased during sales. I actually just tossed like 10 of their thermals because they did not transition anymore.
They have a collection called "Color ClubSafe Space Collection" at Beyond Polish. I don't know when they came out (i had gotten a back in stock email on one of the polishes in July), but they have the new labels. I haven't seen any promo of these polishes and also can't find them on the Color Club site. It makes me wonder if there are other collections that they quietly put out at other places.
Spill the tee Janixa hahah...Great work! I use to shop CC when they were available at Walmart, and still have a lot of them from all these year ago, so they are kinda special to me. I really hope this is just rebranding but unlike CG this could very well be goodbye...hmmm
When you did your awesome video about China Glaze I checked Color Club's site and noticed that even the limited edition polishes were listed for sale which made me wonder about rebranding as well
i posted on reddit about those 18.95 prices when i saw them…i got almost all their linear holos on sale for $5. i was looking to buy second bottles of some that are almost out, and they are still sending emails (this came after a 30% off sale). i was baffled by the new price on some of them. when they did $1 mysteries and had almost no polishes left under their collections on their website, i wondered if they were going out of business. now with the super-high prices i’m even more confused.
Their prices have been all over the place because a LE polish was brought back at $19.95 then sold out and then it reappeared for $29.95, then sold out and now it is $14.95.
Even with the website up, let the buyer beware of a brand that goes radio silent for this long. If you have trouble with your order, will customer service even answer you? Yikes, be careful out there!
I emailed them a few months ago specifically about the $18.95 linears and asked if it was a typo on the website. The reply i got back was those linears are low in stock so grab them if you want them and they are currently in a transitional phase. I personally think they might have been bought by another company or they are closing, which is such a bummer!
I bought CC Harp on it for $11 the other day because another influencer showed it was great for stamping. It arrived with cracked, flaking decals on the cap, which I replaced, and the polish is fine. I wouldnt want to spend another $11 on it though, much less $14+
The holos were always more expensive ($12 I think when everything else was $8.50) but you could always count on a 50% off or buy one get one free sale, so I never paid full price. I think the costs of the base and components have really gone up. I’ve noticed it in the indie space too. A lot of indies start at $14 now. $18.95 is still ridiculous though, whoever is making the polish. I’ll be sad is they close. Their holos are my favorite and I love their crèmes. Thanks for another nail brand tea video. 😊
I just checked their website; cremes still appear to be $8.50. I saw Trick Of the Trade (which I picked up on clearance for about $4 at WalMart a couple years ago...when CC was still sold there) as one of their $18.95 polishes. NO MA'AM! Even though it's beautiful.
We’ll never be royals was my first multi chrome and I was thrilled to grab it for $6/ half off during Black Friday a few years back. I absolutely love it and have yet to find a specialty finish of that quality for anywhere near that price. I’m very bummed if they are going out of business or hiking prices 😢 I remember they made a Halloween collection a couple years back but they barely put out any promotion for it, it was very odd. I was hoping they would become a company to regularly do a Halloween collection.
I looove your tea vids!! Keep up the 🧐 investigations!! Essie seems pretty solid? Idk but for sure the general public isn't purchasing polish like they used to. Everyone I know just gets their nails done. Ughhh are we headed to a Mad Max world of indie brands here & there in a nail polish desert?😢
I wish polish would become more popular. I don’t understand how people think they can do these difficult makeup looks with 10 different eyeshadows but they can’t paint their nails. Make it make sense lol
I own a few Color Club polishes. Mostly snagged through $1 mystery sales, but I did also buy 2 at full price, Frost Bite and some purple one I can't remember the name of at the moment. Sad to see this company go, if that is the case. And also $18 for nail polish is ridiculous. I love their color "Unbreakable", never seen a burnt orange holo with a purple shift before.
I need to check their other brands, I think funky fingers and fresh paint are done. They did the square bottle urban outfitters too...... Down the rabbit hole!
I wonder if CC is trying to rebrand into a boutique polish? Seeing people gobbling up boutique polishes at the higher price point may have made them pivot?
they do that cyber deal (online only) LE chrome every once in a while for $20 it's ridiculous. Maybe they still do $5 sales including holos. the $1 mystery was definitely to clear inventory, as predicted my haul had mostly pinks and the least blues and blue leaning purples. They did not include a lot of colors that would be more popular or exact (nonstandard) shades like light blue or light purple obviously because if it's not in their collections people would buy those specifically.
I remember when Color Club supplied Five Below with their Funky Fingers polish. It was sold for $2 each or 3 for $5. Suddenly they disappeared. I wrote to them but they denied not being in Five Below anymore. Months later I saw what looked like a new collection in the store but that was it and no more since. I don’t know why they stopped, those polishes sold like crazy. Now this. And by the way Color Club, you don’t change your prices like you are selling on the secondary market. You don’t belong there.
Sinful Colors is owned by Revlon. Revlon filed bankruptcy in 2022. There has not been a new SC release since 2022 and the last post on their IG was in December of 2022. They’re still being sold in some stores but it’s all polishes that were released before or during 2022.
That font on your sweatshirt was very popular in the 70s. I think it may have been a bit more so..if you know what I mean, but it brings back memories. Sounds like color club wont be getting any of my business with those prices. I'll give my money to a small, women owned business instead.
I have quite a few of their bottles and wanted to buy their Out of the Box collection but if they raise their prices I most likely will not. That’s quite a bit of a price jump!
Very sad to hear this may be the end of another affordable mainstream polish brand. The price hike and no one responding to inquiries is very alarming. Thanks for letting us know what you know😊
So, discliamer: I know nothing about anything, ever. Anyway, one thing that has been going on in many coastal cities, is that at least a third, and in some cases two thirds, of small local drugstores have closed. That, coupled with everything covid, has had to have had a massive effect on sales of most drugstore brands. My nearest two Walgreens closed; CVS no longer seems to restock OPI, Revlon, or China Glaze. Essie's get infrequent restocks. Not really getting any new Sally Hansen Xtreme wear or other Sally Hansen collections. They started carrying Ella and Mila, but that is not being restocked and is almost gone. Also, no 100% Acetone in months! Target has a much, much, smaller selections than even 2-3 years ago at the height of covid shortages. Even Sally's has smaller selections and far less inventory than previously. This is just what I am seeing, and theft is almost non-existant in my immediate area. Anyway, I am really missing all the drugstore nail polish! Good news is that Ulta seems to have somewhat expanded on their polish inventory...and lots is available at TJ Maxx and Ross.
My CVS only ever had Essie and occasionally Sally Hansen polishes. Even then, the Essie collections are years old. Sally Beauty seems to only have their store brand/gels I've never heard of.
Yes, and those $1 Mystery Polishes had a 'slight' [heavy sarcasm] price increase to $2.50....who in the world has a justifiable 150% price increase?!?! And, before you come for me, I realize $2.50 is still super cheap, but nothing exists in a vacuum so, for me, I just can't move past that massive %% increase. (Not to mention, after getting duplicates & shades I couldn't even make work for nail art, even the $1.00/bottle was no longer a good deal, so $2.50 was absolutely not happening.)
@@naillacquertherapy I'm a person with major trust issues so I'm usually the last person to take a chance on something. That said, I decided to roll the dice this time because the financial exposure was minimal (only picked up 4-6 bottles) ~ thought it would be exciting, like opening presents on Christmas morning! Well, nope...so now I'm back to passing on mysteries all-around.
It sounds like poor management and they realized that they couldn’t stay in the black at the $8-9 price range. (Honestly, I am guessing they were in the red.) Most companies can’t. I wonder if they’re being sold off in pieces. Like selling off the custom polish portion…
@@carrietome4486 Or oversaturated. I keep seeing new indie companies pop up and then die out within a few months, or move to a "we're only open a few months and our prices are high to recoup the costs of making these polishes" model.
@@carrietome4486 I believe brands need to be doing or providing something different in order to grow. Launching a new brand and releasing creams with no other fun thing attached is a good way to go unnoticed.
Color Club trying to sell their holos at indie polish prices is wild. I feel like their main selling point was good formulas at affordable prices, so if they take away the affordability I don't see how that is sustainable for them. IDKabout anyone else but if I'm being asked to pay indie/boutique prices I'm probably going to just support an indie or smaller brand.
Anyone remember when they were the first to develop the Black to Red multichrome pigment (Eclipse) only to charge $20 a bottle for it! And then ilnp, Holo Taco, and everyone else came out with one and charged less??? Yeah I was not happy with that ridiculousness.
I just destashed Just My Luck for $3 because that's what I bought it for during a sale, and now it's $14. No thanks! I purchased tons during the $1 sale, and now they are saying they are limited and price-hiked but are doing a rebrand! That's tacky.
I got the receipts! Here's the email response from May 13th:

That’s insane! If I want to spend $18 a bottle I’ll get a cool Starrily or cirque polish. Even Holo Taco and KB Shimmer are cheaper!
Completely agree! I’d even go for Nailpollies since they come with a cute cap.
When a dozen eggs is over $5 I'm not paying $18 for a bottle of nail polish. Nail polish is fun, it is not necessary to life. Not doing it.

Anyone remember when they were the first to develop the Black to Red multichrome pigment (Eclipse) only to charge $20 a bottle for it! And then ilnp, Holo Taco, and everyone else came out with one and charged less??? Yeah I was not happy with that ridiculousness.
Ooohhh is that so? I wasn’t into nail polish at the time so I don’t know.
@@naillacquertherapy ilnp ALSO called theirs Eclipse but it was NOT $20.
I just destashed Just My Luck for $3 because that's what I bought it for during a sale, and now it's $14. No thanks! I purchased tons during the $1 sale, and now they are saying they are limited and price-hiked but are doing a rebrand! That's tacky.
It’s a very weird way to try and get rid of merchandise.
Maybe they were bought out by an equity company.
Possibly.
$18.95??!! 😂🙄🤷🏽♀️🙅🏽♀️🫤 TFS!
Crazy!!!
